Fair enough. I think we are all sick of hearing about WP Supercache.

My post was about middleman + s3 + cloudfront, however. I think this combination of tools isn't as well known and some people could benefit from knowing about them.

In my opinion (given my superficial understanding of the prior situation), your problem was Apache + mod_php. The default settings for that combination are to chew memory until the bad people go away.

Out of curiousity, why middleman when you're already using Jekyll/Octopress?

(My dog in the static site generator fight is Nanoc, fwiw).

My main site, AppRaptor, isn't on octopress. Just this blog. I agree with you 100% that the problem was apache + mod_php. Nginx would have probably been better. I decided to try out this s3 + cloudfront solution instead, though. I'll take a look at nanoc. Thanks for the info.

Nanoc is hard to get used to but as far as I'm concerned it's a bucket filled with magic.
